While there’s definitely something to be said for a lazy Sunday spent with Netflix and snacks, I’ve found recently that my beloved duvet days don’t always leave me recharged. I’ll get the Sunday blues as a wasted weekend comes to an end, and wake up on Monday morning feeling cranky and unprepared for the week…

Even though the late, great Wes Craven had a hand in it’s production, I honestly didn’t have high hopes for the MTV addition to the Scream franchise. I watched the trailer for Scream: The TV Series and simply saw a drawn out Scream 4 with a faceless cast of pretty young strangers. Don’t get me…

It’s October, the spookiest month of the year – and just one tiny step closer to being socially acceptable to be excited for Christmas! Yep, I’m one of those people. But don’t worry, I can contain myself – you won’t see a whisper of festive cheer anywhere on The Fort before December 1st. Or, y’know, late…

It’s a truly amazing time to be alive. We’ve got so many platforms to speak from, so many new ways to entertain and educate ourselves.

The refugee crisis Early last Wednesday morning, the body of Syrian 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi was discovered washed up on a shore in…

We’re all familiar with this most frustrating of behavioural quirks. Think of the sensitive friend who sulks quietly over totally imagined slights. The self-righteous colleague who barely pulls their weight. The elderly relative who is “so pleased you have such a fulfilling life, even if it does mean you never have time for [them] anymore!”…

This week has brought terror attacks, violent protests and the threat of Yeezus as the US President of 2020. Here’s a brief look at what’s going on in the world, and what it means. Violent protests in Ukraine On Monday, protests erupted in Kiev after legislators granted more independence to pro-Russia separatists in eastern…

And just like that, summer’s over! I know we’re all pretty bummed to resume business as usual after a few months of sun and frivolity, but personally, I’m an Autumn/Winter person anyway. Suddenly hibernating with a blanket, a few books and endless cups of tea is seen as slightly more acceptable. And I’m good with that.…
